Fibre optic cable BlueOptics SFP3131BU5MS LC G.657.A1 5 m Yellow

The BlueOptics SFP3131BU5MS is a 5 m single-mode duplex fibre optic patch cord with LC/UPC to LC/APC (8° angled polish) connectors and laser-optimized G.657.A1 fiber (9/125 µm). The cable has a yellow LSZH jacket, is intended for 1310/1550 nm transmissions and is suitable for connecting patch panels, optical transceivers and other network equipment where single-mode LC duplex connections are required.

Advantages

The patch cord offers low attenuation (0.4 dB/km), low insertion loss and high return loss. It is built from branded single-mode fibers and quality connectors with zirconia ceramic ferrules to ensure reliable, long-lasting connections rated up to 1500 mating cycles. Each cable is tested with interferometer and OTDR and shipped with a measurement protocol for insertion loss and return loss. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and avoids halogen emission in case of fire and the product complies with common industry standards.

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before connection. Align the LC duplex connectors with the corresponding LC ports and insert gently until secure. Avoid sharp bends; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for single-mode fiber. When disconnecting, pull by the connector body rather than the cable jacket to prevent stress on the fiber.

Recommendations

Store and handle the patch cord in a clean environment and use dust caps when connectors are unused. For critical links, keep the supplied test report for verification and consider periodic OTDR checks to monitor link performance.
